The energy outside the stadium was electric as fans celebrated what many called one of the team’s strongest performances of the season.
Scott Robinson, a Jaguars fan, said, “Well, I think they handled the pressure really well. Lawrence was great.”
Others said the win showed the type of dominance that could carry Jacksonville deep into the postseason.
“We got it. Colts was the team we needed to take care of, so we took the quarterback out. Unfortunate, but that’s our key right there,” Josh Scott told us.
Even as heavy rain fell, fans stayed and celebrated, soaked but smiling.
“Phenomenal man, it was worth being here got a whole family on the rain so they’re playoff bound baby,” Scott added.
